Chapter 56 Downhill
"What? Song Qingyun turned out to be Luo Xingyun's apprentice?" Everyone was surprised.
Ji Shangxuan nodded heavily and said in a low voice, "That's good."
"But the landlord, didn't he enter the mountain gate since he was a child?" Ji Kuotian was puzzled.
"Yes, but his father is a disciple of the Blood Demon God Sect and a man of the devil. Although he has achieved nothing, he gave birth to a talented and smart son. Luo Xingyun used to see Song Qingyun's good qualifications, so he secretly accepted apprentices and arranged for him to insert him into our Wanjian Villa." Ji Shangxuan said.
"Hateful!" Ji Kuohai said angrily, "After our three factions are over, we will go to copy their nest!"
"Old nest?" Ji Kuotian sneered, "This group of shrinking turtles of the devil's road have hidden in the desert since the last demon war. The desert of the Western Regions is so vast and vast. Who knows where they are hiding?"
"I don't think it's better." Master Wuding of Mount Xumi suddenly said, "The disciples of the three schools have begun to grow up. We might as well send some powerful disciples to travel around to explore the traces of the demon path, and also do some good deeds to kill demons and eliminate demons, so as to tell the people all over the world that the right path is immortal and justice will last forever!"
"Ye-huh, I agree with Master Wuding." Ji Shangxuan said, "This time, the excellent disciples of the three schools have come out of the cocoon. However, although they are excellent in skills, they still lack fire and experience. I think that's it.
"It's September now. I think it's October 15th. Let's send disciples down the mountain to practice." Bai Yucicada said, "Just where is the goal this time?"
"Hm!" Ji Shangxuan pondered. He kept stroking his beard with his hand and said, "I heard that there have been many girls missing in Wuniu Town recently. I think it's better to send the children there to practice."
"It's okay." Everyone nodded one after another.
That night, Jiang Hanye was drunk and was set back to the room by his brothers. He did not forget to stagger and send Xiaobai out to meet Cen Ruoqiu.
"Have a good reunion, and we're going to part." Jiang Hanye's face turned red, which was caused by the wine.
"Thank you!" Cen Ruoqiu held Xiaobai in his arms. Before leaving, he looked at Jiang Hanye and frowned and said, "Don't be too sad. As long as you don't break through the heavenly disaster and step into the realm of immortal life, all people will always die. Maybe for your brother, this is the disaster in his life. I hope he lives well in another world. What you have to do now is to cheer up and live well for him.
Jiang Hanye had turned around and entered the courtyard door. He stopped when he heard the words, stood for a moment, shook his head and sneered, "Isn't it?"
A favor received the ambiguous answer from Jiang Hanye. Cen Ruoqiu couldn't help but feel a little angry, but looking at the man's lonely and sad back, she couldn't bear to say anything and only lost two words: "Take care." He left without looking back with his little white head in his arms.
The three factions of martial arts came to an end, and the two days of communication between the disciples of the three schools also passed quickly. These two days, Jiang Hanye fell asleep in drowsiness and did not participate in any communication. Master Ji Shangxuan seems to have been so busy that he didn't have time to appear in front of his disciples. Xiaobai has also been with Cen Ruoqiu. Jiang Hanye didn't go back. What he thought was that she was leaving. Why not let them stay together for more time?
This night, it was the time agreed by Jiang Hanye and Cen Ruoqiu to hand over Xiaobai, because in a few hours, the people of Baihua Valley and Xumi Mountain will go down the mountain and go back separately.
"Thank you!" Cen Ruoqiu reluctantly returned Xiaobai to Jiang Hanye and said.
"It's okay. It's just a piece of cake. Even if you really want to thank, you should thank Xiaobai." Jiang Hanye said blankly.
For Jiang Hanye, he is still immersed in great grief at this moment. He can't pretend to be smiling, and he looks very serious when he is expressionless, even a little frightening. However, Cen Ruoqiu didn't mind. Although she and Jiang Hanye only knew each other for a few days, and most of the topics she talked about were around Xiaobai, she also figured out about this person's nature.
Jiang Hanye is a simple person with a straightforward personality and happiness and anger on his face. It is easy to get along with such a person.
"I'm leaving." Cen Ruoqiu said after a moment of silence.
"I know, have a good trip." Jiang Hanye said.
"..." Cen Ruoqiu looked at Jiang Hanye helplessly, and the other party's eyes had never left Xiaobai. She couldn't help but be a little annoyed, but she couldn't say anything, so she said, "So goodbye, take care."
"Creasure." Jiang Hanye said.
The two young men and women turned around and walked to the bedroom respectively. None of them turned their heads to look at each other. Instead, they were Xiaobai. They whined at Jiang Hanye twice, and then at Cen Ruoqiu. It seemed that they were reluctant to give up to both of them.
A gust of autumn wind rolled up the fallen leaves, flew in the air for a moment, and then fell to the ground alone.
The people of Xumi Mountain and Baihua Valley left. Although they lost their fourth brother Ji Feng and the disciples of Wanjian Villa once fell into sadness and panic, they soon cheered up again. Even Jiang Hanye gradually came out of the shadow and began to immerse themselves in practice.
Xiaoyu has appeared less and less recently, especially after Song Qingyun was expelled from the mountain gate, she has obviously lost a lot of weight. Every time Jiang Hanye sees her, she has that solemn expression, which makes people feel heartbroken.
On this day, Xiaoyu suddenly came to the inner house very early. First, she greeted her mother, and then came to Jiang Hanye.
"Xiaoye, maybe I'm leaving too." Xiaoyu said.
"What did you say?" Jiang Hanye was shocked, "Where are you going?"
"I don't know, I just think that today's Wanjian Villa is no longer the former Wanjian Villa, and now my father..." Xiaoyu shook her head and smiled bitterly.
Jiang Hanye was silent. He didn't know what to say. Just last night, the master just taught him the wind swordsmanship and told him to make good use of and sacrifice the war sword given to him by his fourth brother, so as not to disappoint Ji Fengquan. For the master, Jiang Hanye always feels that there is an elusive meaning.
"Don't think so much." Jiang Hanye looked down at the ground, and his feet had made a hole on the ground.
"I just want to know what the eldest brother made wrong and asked the master to kill him like this." Xiaoyu said.
Yes, what mistakes did Song Qingyun make? Until now, the disciples in the door still have different opinions, but most of them say that he is an undercover agent of the devil and a direct disciple of the great devil Luo Xingyun.
Jiang Hanye was silent and suddenly looked up at Xiaoyu and said, "Big brother is still alive, and everything is hopeful." When he said this, there was a feeling of sadness in his heart. Every time he saw Xiaoyu's sad appearance, he felt sad. He wanted to help Xiaoyu out of his predicament, but he always felt that there was no way to start.
"It's better to live than to live like this." Xiaoyu said coldly, "I won't say more to you. My aunt still wants to urge me to practice, so I will go back first. Xiaoye, you must be promising."
Jiang Hanye looked at Xiaoyu and nodded silently.
At the beginning of October, Ji Shangxuan gathered a group of 12 disciples and talked once, and Jiang Hanye was also included. Most of these disciples were three layers of the day after tomorrow, and only Ji Yuan, the second brother, had entered the innate realm.
"As you expected, the teacher came to you this time to send you down the mountain to carry out a training mission." Ji Shangxuan said in a low voice, "Most of you are the first time to go down the mountain to carry out a mission. Only you have been far away several times. The reason why I chose you to lead the team this time is to ask you to urge your brothers from the side."
"Disciples respect the teacher's order!" Ji Yuan bowed.
"Ye'er, you are the youngest and the youngest. Don't be strong in this time. You should do everything according to your ability." Ji Shangxuan knew that Jiang Hanye was stubborn, so he specially told him.
Jiang Hanye nodded and said, "Disciples remember."
"Well, you go to Wanjitang to find the deacon and get a package. Go back and prepare it. Go down the mountain early tomorrow morning." Ji Shangxuan said.
Everyone went to Wanji Hall to get the package, which contained three magic charms, some golden medicine, a piece of casual clothes and some silver. The so-called magic charm is a magic rune paper that has applied magic power. The environment is mainly used to escape. When holding the magic charm in hand and chanting spells can escape a hundred miles in the blink of an eye without consuming true qi. Jinchuang medicine is also different from the vulgar Jinchuang medicine under the mountain. This medicine is mainly aimed at the wounds caused by magic weapons, which can quickly stop the wound and accelerate healing. As for that plain clothes, it seems to be nothing special. It can be worn among ordinary people, but it has been supported by the owner's magic power and can resist the ordinary magic damage of the three layers and below. Those silver two are obvious. The disciples who have gone out to practice need to spend money, which is their entanglement.
The next morning, Jiang Hanye and others followed their second brother Ji Yuan down the mountain. Since Ji Yuan is the only one among the disciples who can control things to fly, Wanjian Villa has prepared twelve horses for them at the post station at the foot of the mountain. This horse is short and strong, and can thrive eight hundred miles a day.
Riding this horse, Jiang Hanye and others came to the destination of this trip - Woniu Town.
In nearly three years, Jiang Hanye was the first time that he was so close to his hometown. Wuniu Town was only 60 or 70 miles away from his hometown Wuniu Village, so his heart pounded with excitement.
"Little brother, I heard that you are here?" Ji Yuan asked.
"Exactly." Jiang Hanye replied.
"Do you want to go back to visit your family for half a day?" Ji Yuan whispered.
Jiang Hanye looked at him gratefully, but shook his head: "This is not good. I still don't want it. I want to have plenty of time when I go home."
Wuniu Town is just a small town with a population of thousands. There are few shops and many pedestrians in the town, but such a town has had frequent events in the past six months - there are always girls who have not left the cabinet missing in the middle of the night. They are between 13 and 15 years old, and there have been seven or eight in the past six months. The girl mysteriously disappeared.
At first, people in the town thought there were flower pickers, but they didn't seem to be like flower pickers. Later, someone said that there were monsters in the sad forest three miles away from the town, and they wanted to invite Taoist priests to catch demons. Later, some large families offered a lot of reward for catching demons, and many Taoist priests were unveiled before and after the list to apply for the recruitment. However, those Taoist priests either came to eat and drink and cheat money, or they did not have enough mana and never come out again when they entered the sad forest.
At this point, the elders of the town wrote the matter to Luoshui City, 300 miles away, informing the current emperor, and the emperor entrusted the matter to Wanjian Villa.
Since this Wuniu Town is within the scope of Shoucang Mountain, it is also a matter of Wanjian Villa, so Jiang Hanye and others were the first to arrive. The people of Xumi Mountain and Baihua Valley have not yet arrived because of their different roads.
According to the owner's instructions, as soon as they arrived at Woniu Town, Ji Yuan chartered the only inn in the town. They lived in several rooms and reserved several rooms for the people of Xumi Mountain and Baihua Valley.
On the first day of arriving in Woniu Town, Ji Yuan took eleven younger brothers around the town, bought some braised food and old wine at the only cooked food shop, and walked around while eating. They seem to be wandering. In fact, Ji Yuan is very right to do this. They are about to fight here, and they are in a state of enemy light and darkness. The enemy doesn't know anyone. Naturally, they have to survey the terrain first.
"Brother, can't we eat this worldly food?" A disciple asked curiously, but although he had doubts in his words, his mouth did not stop and ate more pig head meat than anyone else.
"Haha! Monk all have a saying: the so-called wine and meat have been worn through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart. What are you and I true practitioners afraid of? Although these things contain many impurities and will affect their cultivation, it refers to eating these things over the years. It doesn't matter if you eat them once or twice. Moreover, although the food in our villa canteen is delicious, it is too exquisite. As a human being, you always have to taste all the flavors in the world. It doesn't matter. You can eat it well!" Ji Yuan laughed and said, so that everyone could eat it at ease.
That night, after the terrain survey, Ji Yuan called his brothers to his room and told them, "We are landlords, so this time the task of killing demons and demons is mainly completed by us. We should get along well with the same gates such as Xumi Mountain and Baihua Valley. We should not be greedy and timid as rats. The brothers should watch and help each other, and it can't be seen that they will die.
After saying a series of impossible things, Ji Yuan said some necessary things to everyone, and then divided the twelve people into three groups, Jiang Hanye and Ji Yuan, and the others in a group of five. After the people of Xumi Mountain and Baihua Valley arrived, they cooperated separately.
"I have a relatively high cultivation, so I take the youngest brother with the lowest cultivation, and five groups of others, so that my strength will be average." Ji Yuan finally said, "Through this survey, I have smelled a fishy smell outside the sad wind forest, and I guess the missing people are there. This time, there may be a hard bone to gnaw. Everyone must be careful and remember!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded.
Early the next morning, before Jiang Hanye woke up, he heard bursts of horseshoes and noise outside. He looked down from the window on the second floor and saw a group of monks coming down from the horse. It turned out that the brothers of Xumi Mountain came. From Zhongjiang Hanye, he also saw two familiar figures: Shi Zhen and Shiran.
After the arrival of the people of Xumi Mountain, at noon, the people of Baihua Valley also arrived one after another. The leader was Bai Rou, the master sister of Baihua Valley, and Cen Ruoqiu was also among them.
Ji Yuan, Shi Zhen and Bai Rou got together to discuss, divided their disciples into three waves, and combined with other sects according to their strength. A total of three groups were ready to leave this afternoon.
Ji Yuan, Jiang Hanye, Shi Ran and two unfamiliar Baihua Valley disciples, another little monk, are divided into a group. Overall, except for Ji Yuan in the congenital realm, Jiang Hanye and Shi Ran in the three-layer realm of the day after tomorrow, the rest of this group are wandering on the second floor.
Shizhen took two young monks and Bai Rou, another Baihua Valley disciple and five Wanjian Villa disciples in a group, while Cen Ruoqiu took two Baihua Valley disciples, five Wanjian Villa disciples and two other small monks in a group.
After preparing to stop, the group changed their clothes and acted separately.
Jiang Hanye held the Tianjian sword, holding the Brahma ruler in his arms, and followed Xiaobai (when he went down the mountain, Xiaobai was noisy to follow him, and he really couldn't help it), followed the brothers from the front of the sad wind forest.
From the periphery, this forest seems to be lush, lush vegetation, and even a little delicate. It seems that everything here is normal except for the occasional smell. But once they stepped into the bleak forest territory, everyone suddenly felt that the wind was blowing on their faces. The forest was full of fog, and the trees in front of them were crooked one by one, describing them as withering. Unexpectedly, only the outermost circle of trees was green.
"Be careful, there are poisonous miasma here, that is to say, there are demons practicing here." Ji Yuan immediately said in a low voice.
"Yes!" Jiang Hanye and others responded.
"What's great? No matter how powerful the demon is, it can't beat the Dharma of our Buddhist disciples!" Relieved and disdainful.
Ji Yuan turned his head and looked at him without saying anything. He just thought to himself, "This little monk is so domineering that I'm afraid he will suffer this time."
This release is the most spiritual disciple of Xumi Mountain in addition to Shizhen. After only three years of his introduction, he jumped from an ordinary teenager to a martial artist of the three levels of the acquired realm in these three years, and his cultivation is still above Jiang Hanye. When he was in Xumi Mountain, Shiran has always been held as a treasure in the palm of his brothers. No wonder he is so arrogant, but although his arrogance is justified, he has lost the style of a Buddhist disciple. The reason why the abbot of Xumi Mountain sent this disciple down the mountain this time is that he wants to suffer some losses and have a good memory.
Just as everyone was walking, they suddenly didn't know who stepped on something. Everyone only heard a click in the silence, and their hearts jumped.
